What you pay

Official figures from the source page on the date checked. Estimates are Waegook's. Unknown is shown as not published, never as zero.

What do I need?

• Application form with self-introduction and study plan (2027 form, typed on a computer, every field filled). Two colour passport photos, 3.5 x 4.5 cm, white background
• Passport copy (photo page). Final school graduation certificate and transcript, originals (notarised copies if originals are impossible); the transcript must show every school year
• Certificates not in English or Korean: notarised English or Korean translation. As printed: "법무부장관 고시 21 개국 및 중점 관리대상 5 개국 해당자는 학력입증서류 제출(영문)", one of apostille, consular confirmation abroad, or consular confirmation in Korea
• Students from China, as printed: an original 학력인정보고 report, either the 中国高等教育学历认证报告 from chsi.com.cn or the 高考成绩或合格认证书 from cdgdc.edu.cn
• Family papers: your birth certificate; family relation certificate (parents and spouse). Family on separate hukou: a notarised kinship certificate (Korean or English)
• Divorced parents: the original divorce certificate or judgment (custody of the invitee); a deceased parent: original death certificate; a remarried parent: copy of the former divorce certificate
• Bank balance certificate, original: USD 10,000 or 12,000,000 won or more (you or your parents), issued within the last 2 months, deposited 2 months or more
• Parents' (or the guarantor's) employment and income certificates, originals issued within 30 days, and a social insurance payment certificate. Parents' nationality proof (ID card copy)
• Your criminal record certificate. Tuberculosis test certificate (needed for the dormitory)
• If they apply: alien registration card copy, both sides, if you or family live in Korea; marriage certificate; TOPIK, King Sejong Institute or SKA report

THE BANK BALANCE IS USD 10,000 OR 12,000,000 WON OR MORE, as printed "USD 10,000 이상 / 한화 1,200 만원 이상 (본인 및 부모)": in your name or your parents'. Issued within 2 months; the money deposited 2 months or more.

The English documents page (undated) words it as at least USD 10,000 for non-residents, kept until admission, and more than 10,000,000 won from a Korean bank for residents. The dated 2027 guide is the one stored.

Application fee: not printed in the 2027 guide; the Korean fee page says none, the English page 70,000 won. Not stored as a figure; ask before you pay.

Tuition 1,200,000 won a term and the Daegu dormitory 600,000 won a term are paid to an individual virtual account after admission. Textbooks and insurance (90,000 won per 6 months) are extra; culture programmes may charge a separate fee (institute page, undated).

Older bank details (대구은행 in the 2024 and 2026 guides, iM Bank on the fee page) are superseded by the 2027 guide's virtual account; pay only to the account the school sends you.

The admission letter is issued after tuition payment; then you apply for the D-4-1 visa and enter Korea (guide chart).

From the official guide. The school decides what it accepts, not Waegook.
